Redwoods Magazine Autumn/Winter 2022

Welcome to the Resilient Future Edition of Redwoods — Winter 2022

In this Resilient Future Edition, we spotlight how we are advancing toward a more resilient future. We present the opportunity to protect Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve, help it heal and grow, and create welcoming and memorable shared experiences for our communities. We continue to sound the alarm for the urgent threats of climate change and severe wildfires to the remaining giant sequoia groves, and we support the Save Our Sequoias Act as a proactive and necessary answer to the emergency. Learn how, together, we are protecting and restoring the forests at scale and connecting all of us with their peace and beauty.

Join our thousands of members today for only $25, and you’ll get future editions of our Redwoods magazine.
